This design is inspired by the amazing hand poses of Jonathon Young. During the second season, while Tesla is making a toast to himself he said the words ‘It’s good to be King’. Although he, himself is far too debonair to wear a crown this design reflects the notion.

OMG thank you! I had never heard of Sanctuary or Tesla (as a vampire) until I accidentally/on purpose found this picture for the Best of Vampires! Thank you, thank you, thank you I am now obsessing over this character. I basically only watch the episodes he's in lol. Such a shame the show ended, though it's nice to fantasize...
